Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has invited Swedish wonderkid Filip Tasic back to north London after a short spell for the 15-year-old at the club’s academy.

Right winger Tasic, a Djurgardens prospect, revealed he was left starstruck at meeting his Gunners heroes.

He said: “Mesut Ozil is my idol so when I got to meet him, it was incredible. Yet I did meet all the first team players every day at the training ground when they were in, for example, the restaurant and the pool.

“The most sociable was Jack Wilshere. He always came down and talked with the young players and gave advice and tips.”
